This movie is exactly what it needed to be for TMNT fans. All the critics hating it don't truly love the TMNT. For those who love the TMNT, this is your movie.

They're painful to watch and one does more eye-rolling than watching the screen. The first TMNT film added a slick, hip quality to the characters we already loved, and it still holds up to this day. This new one is a continuation of that precedent. I'm sorry that so many comic book fans were so disappointed that this film doesn't adhere to the pre-TV stories, but they should realize that neither did the TV show, nor did ANY of the films. The real problem with those who didn't like this movie is that they forgot what Turtles are all about. They're about monstrous villians, internal conflict, teamwork, lighthearted one-liners, and kicking butt. This movie is a marked improvement over part 3, and is a fantastic addition to the phenomenon. It deserves a lot more credit than people are giving. The whole audience in the theater was laughing at the jokes, and there was actually some applause at the end. Shame on those who forgot what it means to be green. Turtle Power.… Expand

The teenage mutant ninja turtles are great characters and this movie is too!

I must say the animation is well done, voices: good action: very good.

Kids will love this film and the action as well.

Voice acting is pretty good, the turtles do sound very close to their cartoon counterparts. If anything this version of TMNT is perhaps closer to the comic than it is to the cartoon show. But if I had to criticize, it does tend to pander to the "mass market" mentality, and that's a shame. The movie does have some good moments and some real depth. But they get swept aside for some kind of gratuitous action sequence or needless comic relief. Overall: It has the rough makings of a TMNT film of legend, but falls short simply so it can appeal to the masses. Still, it is highly enjoyable and a must watch for fans of the series.… Expand

The story is a bit confusing, and I'm not quite sure if it follows the past movies or the 2003 cartoon. Probably the latter. The animation is decent and well done. The voice actors get their job done and it is a very entertaining film.

The turtles themselves were beautifully designed and looked great, but the humans were crazy disproportionate and I just plain didn't care for the design of Splinter. I know it's an art style, it's just one I don't care for. Otherwise, I think the voice actors did a great job, as well as the story writers and director. This really is just basically another Turtles side story and on the big screen. Still, this film was great fun, funny, and action packed! A great relaxer movie, and good for the kids.

If you're a fan of the old movies and cartoon, and you haven't seen this new one yet because of some fear that it won't live up to the old, then do yourself a favor and disregard all the critics' reviews and just go see the movie. That's the ONLY way you can says if it's good or bad. -I thought the movie was going to suck and worried about it, but I was surprised that it turned out a lot better than I thought it would. There IS a story here, though it's not as strong as the older ones. There's a nice family dynamic presented and at least the writers tried something new, since the story takes place after all the previous movies. The characters are well-developed (like the older movies, Raph.'s the most believeable of the four brothers), and there are some deeper themes here. The music is pretty good and emphasizes the action well, and the cgi was great (the fight scenes were very well done). It's actually quite funny and even though the ending is pretty predictable, the rest of the story is NOT. The four turtles' voices are perfect and most of the other characters as well, but Splinter sounds comical (not in the good way). -So to sum up, I give this movie a 10 for style, an 8 for jokes, and a 2 for stealth (those who've seen the movie know what I'm talking about).… Expand

This For the first 1/2 hour the movie made me yearn for the good ole rubber suits and all that it entailed. Watching the rooftop turtle on turtle battle changed my mind, with gorgeous CG raindrops dancing differently on metal and green skin. This movie is escapist fun. Those looking for plot, look elsewhere. I mean, come on, have you ever really watched one of the old cartoons. No plot. Ever. None. Why would the movie be different? The last three of them certainly weren't. If you want a plot go read a book. I suggest The Third Policeman. You'll spend the next three months figuring it out.… Expand

This does homage to all that is teenage mutant ninja turtles and does not fall into a campy feel as the live action movies and original cartoons did. The action scenes, animation and voice acting for the four turtles is top notch bringing a more grown up feel to their relationship with conflicts and bonding. The story may be lacking in complexity as its aimed to be seen by kids too but this does not detract from the movie. Comparing this one to what you felt when you watched the original cartoons when you were a kid is just inexcusable...and it just means you never "really" loved them at all.… Expand

Get over it people! The 87 toon is a considered a disgrace to the TMNT franchise. The creators wanted this movie to have nothing to do with the 87 show, so stop saying this movie raped your childhood. This is the real TMNT!

If you are willing to take the concept of Mutant Ninja Turtles seriously, you will enjoy this film. Old people and cynics that think of the TMNT as ludicrous before even watching it (like Roeper and the majority of the critics) If you are willing to take the concept of Mutant Ninja Turtles seriously, you will enjoy this film. Old people and cynics that think of the TMNT as ludicrous before even watching it (like Roeper and the majority of the critics) shouldn't bother trying to review the movie objectively. Actually, they didn't try to review TMNT _objectively_, so good on them... I guess. Simply put, this movie is a landmark in American animation, particularly CG. Done with an unprecedented low budget, and with action and characterization far more mature than virtually any other CGI film, TMNT is something the genre has never attempted before. More of a humorous action-adventure story than family funny, this film defies all preconceived notions. The TMNT aren't a one note farce, the threat they face ties into the general theme of their development through the film, and the many impressive action sequences, in conjunction with the darker character designs reveal a CGI film unlike any other released in the U.S. Whatever formulas this film follows, the funny-animal family fest is not one of them, although character based humor is very present in the film. This movie really appeals to the comic geek demographic: people that are old enough but also eccentric enough (at least in todays world) to take a story about four mutated turtle brothers trained in the martial arts seriously, and to go along for the ride. If you won't, you won't, but TMNT does everything it can to convince those straddling the fence.… Expand

As is usually the case for these things, the people who don't like the movie are going for entirely the wrong reasons. Nostalgia is a funny thing, and people who try to pander to it's call are almost always dissapointed. This movie is NOT supposed to make fans of the old cartoon feel like they're 8 again, and thank goodness because that's a stupid goal to achieve. If youa ctually LIKE the Ninja Turtles for what they are, and not what they remind you of, you will LOVE this movie. Everything about the team is realized better than it has every been, and it's clear that the artist are big fans of the material. I mean, I'm not sure people realize this, but this is the first time we've actually gotten to SEE the ninja turtles be ninjas and practice martial arts. The aniamtions is amazing, and for the first time, a lot ofpeople are going to be exposed to some of the more edgy material from the comics. The voices that I thought were going to be annoying, weren't. The jokes that I thought were going to make me groan diddn't. Some even made me laugh. It's important to note two things though. 1) this is an all encompassing version fo the turtles that seems to agknowledge all prevoius versions. Casey Jonea nd April are from the newer cartoon. Raph and the Foot clan are from the old movies. Leonardo seems more from the comic books, and Donatello and Michaelango seem more from the cartoons. Don't be surprised if something isn't just as you remember it. Also, the movie assumes a LOT of time has passed since you last saw the turtles since every adventure you have seen acutally happend. They really did go though time, (the time sceptre thing shows up in the background) THey really did fight shredder, and they probably really did a number of other adventures. So, don't be shocked and mad when characters aren't doing what they did in the first movie. April has moved up from being a reporter, and has apparently learned martial arts from her best friends, which makes sense. Casey and APrila re a couple now, which makes sense. Go see this movie. It's the best version of the Turtles yet.… Expand

It is meant to be an hour and a half of entertainment for all ages with not a lot of thinking involved. What's even better is that April and Splinter got in on the butt kicking action. I think that the critics have it wrong once again. This shouldn't be rated as if its trying to be a Oscar contender. Yeah, its not completely classic, but it was still a lot of fun. If you can have a sold out midnight premiere of high school, college age, and adult viewers and get the whol audience laughing--You are in good shape. And this movie did that. This is PG at its best.

Well as a fan of the original, I thought this movie was great. People have to remember that making a movie is expensive, and those putting out the cash want something that is going to return their investment. Thus meaning, the turtles would have to reach to a new audience in order to get some green. Im suprised that the filmakers added any nostalgia whatsoever. However wherever it was, fans are bound to notice and it and cheer.

Other then the absent of Shredder (however this can be counteracted due to the hinting of a next movie with Shredder being in it: AWESOME), I was wanting to hear one quote: "I love being a turtle!" and just when I thought I wasnt going to get my fix, the last words that were spoken, sealed the deal for me.

It was action packed, fast paced, and (literally) the FIRST cartoon I have taken my son to in 2 years where he wasn't bored and asking to leave.
